If you're not stuck on Fiocchi, look at the Winchester 210gr Silvertip HP. It's controllable in my UDR, and accurate.

I like these Eagle Secret Service grips. Not alot of fun with full power loads, but they do great with warm/hot .44 Specials.

I can't wait to see it. I bet it turns out great.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Skeeter load goes much over 900 fps. I've always viewed it as a mild load, and not even close to hot.

Looks like a model 58 that was converted to .44 magnum. If you look at picture #2, you can see the '1' had been modified to a '4'.

I'm confused about the malfunction too. If the slide simply locked back, and can be lowered, it could be simple operator error, and that you accidentally bumped the slide stop while firing. If the slide is locked back and cannot be lowered, my guess would be an issue with the recoil spring...

Actually the primers were flowing back into the firing pin hole on magnum rounds, tying up the action.

I had a model 19 that would key hole the Buffalo Bore round, but was fine with the Remington version. It's hard to say why guns do well with one, and not so hot with another.

I really walked into that one, didn't I?

I'm thinking about getting a Tanker style holster from El Paso Saddlery for my snub nosed 629, and had a question for anyone using one. I plan on using it for hiking and woods bumming. I was wondering if I rotated it slightly so that it rides under my shoulder, could I conceal it under a loose...

Red Heat - Jim Belushi's character carries a snub nosed model 629, and later loans a 6" barreled model 29 to Danko when his Podbyrin 9.2mm is taken away.

I had to shoot several different loads in my model 37 before I found one that shot where I wanted it to. I really wanted to carry the 135gr Gold Dot, but it shot high and left. 158gr loads of any kind also shot very high. I finally found two loads that shoot point of aim, the old Federal...

What kind of belt are you using? For holsters, I really like El Paso Saddlery and Lobo Gunleather.

Those are great looking guns. The new UDR revolvers look like a modern version of them, especialy since they also have the ball and detent lock up. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I've had mine since August, and it's become one of my most favorite guns. They did a great job designing this one.

Definitely the .44 Special. I carry either a model 29 Mountain Gun or the new 629 PC. Buffalo Bore's 255gr LSWC at 1,000 fps is more than enough to stop anything in my state. As far as accuracy goes, this load in both guns is extremely accurate. I have complete confidence in both guns and load.

I have been carrying my 66-1 off-duty since December. I use a pancake holster from Lobo Gunleather, and my reload is in an El Paso Saddlery 2x2x2 worn in front of the gun. A Dade speedloader rides in my front pocket sometimes too. All this is carried on a a Beltman horsehide belt that does a...

Scooter, I never thought of it that way, but you make a really good point.

I recently picked up a new 629PC, and while cleaning it, noticed a problem with the rifling. The rifling along the bottom part of the barrel looked shallow, and almost non-existant. S&W had me send it back and they agreed there was a problem. They replaced the barrel, and also replaced the...

Hunting Shack makes a good 240gr SWC load. Not as hard cast as Buffalo Bore, but not soft lead either.
